The method may comprise: a server receiving a content sharing request initiated by a sharing party user, wherein the content sharing request is used for sharing content to be shared, submitted by the sharing party user, in an organization where the sharing party user is located; and the server releasing the content to be shared to the organization, so that the content to be shared is presented on a content sharing interface related to the organization. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A content sharing method, comprising: displaying, by a terminal, a messaging interface of a chat group, the messaging interface including an access entry; according to a trigger operation on the access entry, displaying, by the terminal, a content sharing interface corresponding to the chat group, wherein the content sharing interface is configured to display shared contents of members of the chat group; determining, by the terminal, content to be shared in the chat group; initiating, by the terminal, a content sharing request to a server, for the server to release the content to the chat group; and in response to receiving a release of the content from the server, displaying, by the terminal, the content on the content sharing interface wherein the chat group corresponds to an organization comprising at least one sub-level organization; and the content sharing interface comprises: a content sharing general-interface corresponding to the organization and at least one content sharing sub-interface corresponding to the at least one sub-level organization. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the server, the content sharing request; and releasing, by the server, the content to be shared to the chat group. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the content sharing request is from a sharing party user, and the sharing party user is any member in the chat group; or the sharing party user is a member having a sharing permission in the chat group. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: establishing, by the server, the chat group for an organization, for members of the chat group to have a one-to-one correspondence with members of the organization. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, further comprising: sending, by the server, the content and/or an access link of the content to an associated group of the organization. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, further comprising: receiving, by the server, a join request of an applicant user for the organization; and adding, by the server, the applicant user to the organization when determining that the applicant user initiates the join request based on a join invitation sent by a member of the organization. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the releasing, by the server, the content to be shared to the organization comprises: releasing, by the server according to a permission level of a sharing party user, the content to the organization or a sub-level organization of the organization, so that the content to be shared is presented on the content sharing general-interface or a content sharing sub-interface; or releasing, by the server according to configuration information of the sharing party user, the content to the organization or a sub-level organization, so that the content to be shared is presented on the content sharing general-interface or a content sharing sub-interface corresponding to the sub-level organization. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein an access permission of the content sharing general-interface is limited to all members of the organization; and an access permission of a content sharing sub-interface is limited to all the members of the organization or members of a corresponding sub-level organization. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: displaying, by the terminal, prompt information in a display region of the access entry, wherein the prompt information indicates that there is unread shared content and/or unread interactive content in the content sharing interface. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the content sharing interface and the messaging interface belong to a same application. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the displaying, by the terminal, a content sharing interface corresponding to the chat group comprises: displaying, by the terminal, the content sharing interface above the messaging interface in a floating manner; or displaying, by the terminal, the messaging interface and the content sharing interface side by side. ### Claim 12 One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions executable by one or more processors, wherein execution of the instructions causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: displaying a messaging interface of a chat group, the messaging interface including an access entry; according to a trigger operation on the access entry, displaying a content sharing interface corresponding to the chat group, wherein the content sharing interface is configured to display shared contents of members of the chat group; determining content to be shared in the chat group; initiating a content sharing request to a server, for the server to release the content to the chat group; in response to receiving a release of the content from the server, displaying the content on the content sharing interface; and displaying prompt information in a display region of the access entry, wherein the prompt information indicates that there is unread shared content and/or unread interactive content in the content sharing interface. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The storage media according to claim 12, wherein the content sharing interface and the messaging interface belong to a same application. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The storage media according to claim 12, wherein the displaying a content sharing interface corresponding to the chat group comprises: displaying the content sharing interface above the messaging interface in a floating manner. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The storage media according to claim 12, wherein the chat group corresponds to an organization comprising at least one sub-level organization; and the content sharing interface comprises: a content sharing general-interface corresponding to the organization and at least one content sharing sub-interface corresponding to the at least one sub-level organization. ### Claim 16 A system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable memories coupled to the one or more processors and configured with instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to perform operations comprising: displaying a messaging interface of a chat group, the messaging interface including an access entry; according to a trigger operation on the access entry, displaying a content sharing interface corresponding to the chat group, wherein the content sharing interface is configured to display shared contents of members of the chat group; determining content to be shared in the chat group; initiating a content sharing request to a server, for the server to release the content to the chat group; in response to receiving a release of the content from the server, displaying the content on the content sharing interface; and displaying prompt information in a display region of the access entry, wherein the prompt information indicates that there is unread shared content and/or unread interactive content in the content sharing interface. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system according to claim 16, wherein the content sharing interface and the messaging interface belong to a same application. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The system according to claim 16, wherein the displaying a content sharing interface corresponding to the chat group comprises: displaying the messaging interface and the content sharing interface side by side. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The system according to claim 16, wherein the chat group corresponds to an organization comprising at least one sub-level organization;
